Savinho looks ahead in close-up

Míchel chooses his new Savinho: 30 million and a luxury signing for Girona

Girona aims high with the signing of the Colombian, looking to replace Savinho and strengthen the forward line

Girona have surprised in recent years with ambitious moves in the transfer market. One of their biggest recent successes was the signing of Savinho, a young Brazilian talent who left his mark during his time at the Catalan team. However, after his signing for Manchester City, the Girona side has been left without this overflowing talent.

Girona's coach, Míchel, knows that the team needs to replace Savinho with a player with similar characteristics. The aim is to find a young, fast attacker with the ability to make a difference in one-on-one situations. For a club like Girona, it is essential to continue investing in young prospects who can make a name for themselves in La Liga.

Girona's signing strategy

In recent seasons, Girona has shown a clear transfer strategy. The club, which has the backing of the City Football Group, has been able to attract young talents looking for opportunities in European football. This approach has allowed the team to compete more ambitiously in LaLiga, consolidating itself as a club that can nurture promising players.

Míchel has been key in developing this strategy. The manager has shown that he has a good eye for spotting young talents and knows how to integrate them into his game plan. The search for a new Savinho has been one of Girona's priorities this summer, and it seems that the club is about to make a statement.

The chosen one to shine in Girona

The name that is being strongly linked with taking Savinho's place is that of Yáser Asprilla , a young Colombian striker who plays for Watford, a team in the English Championship. At just 20 years old, Asprilla has shown undeniable talent, and his ability to play both on the wings and in more central positions makes him a versatile option. Girona are close to signing him for a figure close to 30 million euros.

Yáser Asprilla has a style of play that fits perfectly with Míchel's philosophy. His dribbling ability and ability to create danger in the final third of the pitch make him an ideal signing to strengthen Girona's attack. In addition, his youth means that he has great room for improvement, something that Míchel and his coaching staff will know how to take advantage of.
